Getting a bit sick of this travelling lark.

Renamed in memory of John Hawksworth, a stalwart member who passed this day 2nd August 2020. RIP Mr Monkeybutt.

Sadly we must add the name of Kevin Minton, Aka Mr Ripper who passed 30/6/22. Kev was also Mr politically incorrect but a nicer lad you could never meet.

Two and a half weeks ago I flew to Cebu via Hong Kong. I had two weeks there then flew to Hong Kong on Sunday. The missus got earache and was seen by the seen by the airline doctor in Hong Kong and certified unfit to fly.

Now we’ve got best part of another week away courtesy of travel insurance. We’re in an admittedly nice hotel at HK International and had a trip into the city yesterday but starting to get a bit stir crazy. Macau tomorrow then hoping to fly Thursday. It’s a long shot but hoping.

There’s sympathy for you! Funny enough it was but I’m sure it was unrelated :)

You could help with the ear problem by offering her something to suck during take off.

Nasty. There's nothing worse than unwanted echos in an aeroplane.

Bollox, I went to Cammell Lairds shipyard on the Wirral and then spent a pleasant day at Holyhead. Now that’s international jet setting :laugh:

No sign of hat cams anywhere I’m afraid. I’ve asked but apparently they’re limited to a specific part of China.
